Imdad Ali; Samiran Das – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
This study examines the direct and indirect effects of some affective constructs, such as self-efficacy (SE), mathematics anxiety (MA) and mathematics interest (MI) on algebraic problem solving achievement (PSA). The sample of the study consists of 400 class IX secondary school students in Morigaon district of Assam, India. The instruments…

Jessica H. Hunt; Kristi Martin – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
Productive engagement in fractional reasoning is essential for abstracting fundamental algebraic concepts vital to college and career success. Yet, data suggest students with learning disabilities (LDs), in particular, display pervasive shortfalls in learning and mastering fraction content. We argue that shortfalls in understanding are in fact…

Veith, Joaquin Marc; Girnat, Boris; Bitzenbauer, Philipp – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Recent research has boosted the inclusion of introductory group theory into secondary and undergraduate mathematics education due to manifold potentials, e.g., with regards to the promotion of students' abstract thinking. However, in addition to research on cognitive processes, learners' affective characteristics have largely remained unexplored…

Hutt, Stephen; Grafsgaard, Joseph F.; D'Mello, Sidney K. – Grantee Submission, 2019
We developed generalizable affect detectors using 133,966 instances of 18 affective states collected from 69,174 students who interacted with an online math learning platform called Algebra Nation over the entire school year. To enable scalability and generalizability, we used generic interaction features (e.g., viewing a video, taking a quiz),…

Ganley, Colleen M.; Vasilyeva, Marina – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
This research examined a potential mechanism underlying gender differences in math performance by testing a mediation model in which women's higher anxiety taxes their working memory resources, leading to underperformance on a mathematics test. Participants for the 2 studies were college students (N = 87, N = 118) who completed an anxiety measure,…

McCombs, Jennifer Sloan; Augustine, Catherine H.; Unlu, Fatih; Ziol-Guest, Kathleen M.; Naftel, Scott; Gomez, Celia J.; Marsh, Terry; Akinniranye, Goke; Todd, Ivy – RAND Corporation, 2019
Research evidence suggests that summer breaks contribute to income-based achievement and opportunity gaps for children and youth. However, summertime can also be used to provide programs that support an array of goals for children and youth, including improved academic achievement, physical health, mental health, social and emotional well-being,…

Guy, G. Michael; Cornick, Jonathan; Beckford, Ian – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2015
Students at a large urban community college enrolled in fourteen sections of a developmental algebra class. While cognitive variables are often used to place students, affective characteristics may also influence their success. To explore the impact of affective variables, students took ACT's Engage survey measuring motivation, academic-related…

Gresalfi, Melissa Sommerfeld – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2009
This article presents an analysis of how students' dispositions toward learning shift and change over time through their engagement with particular classroom practices and identifies classroom practices that support the development of more productive dispositions. An analysis of 4 purposefully selected students from 2 different classrooms reveals…

Williams, Steven R.; Ivey, Kathy M. C. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2001
Reports on a case study of one student's pattern of engagement in an 8th grade algebra class. Argues both empirically and theoretically that none of the current theories of engagement and motivation serve to characterize the core of this student's decision about engagement: his affective assessment of mathematics. (Author/MM)

Brahier, Daniel J. – 1995
Dispositions of eighth graders accelerated into first-year algebra were described in this study. Data were collected through surveys, observations, interviews, and cumulative academic files. The most frequently reported reasons for enrolling in algebra were for acceleration of course-taking and preparation for high school. Males demonstrated a…

Malinen, Paavo – 1971
This document is an English-language abstract (approximately 1,500 words) of an empirical investigation carried out in an experimental school in Finland called Alppilan Yhteislyseo. The experimental group consisted of 119 pupils whose average age at the end of the experiment was 15.8 years. The experimental period in algebra started in grade 7 and…

McConnell, John W. – 1978
This paper deals with the question of how teacher attitudes emerge as teacher behaviors and the relationships between teacher attitudes toward mathematics, teaching, and students, and teacher behaviors as measured by external observers and pupils. Forty-nine ninth-grade mathematics teachers were the subject of this research. It was observed that…

Wilson, Patricia S., Ed. – 1993
Research Ideas for the Classroom is a three-volume series of research interpretations for early childhood, middle grades, and high school mathematics classrooms. Each volume looks at research from the perspective of the learner, the content, and the teacher, and chapters are co-authored by a researcher and a teacher. Chapter titles in the high…

Sutherland, Rosamund – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1993
Analyzes case study data of 10 low achieving students, ages 14-15, to examine the effects of participation in computer spreadsheet sessions on their understanding of mathematical symbols. Participation improved students' attitudes toward problem solving. (MDH)
